1. Monica Padron:

   You'd be an idiot if you were the only one who didn't make the most of it, but it's not right. The president thinks only of the present. The next one will have to pay the price.

2. Lorenzo Fioramonti:

   I was ridiculed by everyone and treated like a village idiot, and now a few months later the government is using two of those proposals and it seems to me more and more people are convinced it is the way to go.

3. James Corden:

   I have re-watched countless, countless Tony Award shows and I am no James Corden, I am certainly no Neil Patrick Harris or Hugh Jackman for that matter. And I am no Whoopi Goldberg, but I have been inspired by all of them, i'm excited about it because it's a playground for me. I have never done this so I get to just sort of experiment and the good thing is that I love these people and I don't mind falling on my face and looking like a little bit of an idiot for people I love. So here we go !

4. Project Veritas:

   People dont know theyre being lied to, but these tapes show that the top-down approach to media, they show Jeff Zucker telling people what to cover, whatnot to cover -- calling [ Giuliani ] a useful idiot there, telling them for political reasons dontcover certain stories, fox News host Sean Hannity, these are the times that try mens souls and I think if you go one direction, you lose your conscience, another direction, you lose your livelihood. But there are brave people like the person we worked with regarding CNN who are willing to be citizen journalists, willing to expose these sorts of things.

5. William Shakespeare:

   To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
